Write quadratic equation whose roots are 1 and -3 and whose leading coefficient is 4

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation with roots a and b has the equation (x - a)(x - b) = 0.

You roots are 1 and -3.

The equation is

(x - 1)(x - (3)) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

We can multiply it out.

x^2 + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0

Since we need the leading coefficient to be 4, we multiply both sides by 4.

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write it in factor form.

4(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

4(x^2 + 2x - 3) = 0

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0 (answer).

A tunnel is in the shape of a parabola. The maximum height is 31 m and it is 13 m wide at the base as shown below.
yan [13]
Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a 
a = -31/42.25 
a = -124/169 

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.

How do i work this out?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

She has 45% of the original amount left

<h3>Ratio and proportions</h3>

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers

Given the following

Initial amount. = ∈4000


Amount given to her sister = 1/4 * 4000 = 1000

Amount given to her brother = 40% of 3000 = 1200

Amount left = 4000 - (1000+1200)

Amount left = ∈1800

Determine the percentage left

x * 4000 = 1800

x = 1800/4000

x = 0.45

x = 45%

Hence she has 45% of the original amount left

Which of the following describes sec(205°)?
kap26 [50]
This is the concept of trigonometry, to solve the question we proceed as follows;
sec(x)=1/cosx
thus;
sec(205)=1/cos205
=1/-0.9063
=-1.1034
this implies that:
sec(205)<-1
